Brown Elected COR President
by Janine Leigh Kramer
QC News Editor
Junior JaMarr Brown was
elected as the new ASWC President in last Friday's election
against junior Rhonda Ross.
"I am glad that the election
is over with and that the students' voices were heard. I am
glad students have faith in me."
said Brown about his recent vic-
toiy.
Brown, who will offically
take office in January, says his
first objective was to meet with
leaders of groups on campus
aboutconcerns over the new budgetary process being implemented by COR for this spring.
"I want to insure that student
groups don't lose their autonomy." said Brown.
When asked about the new
constitution, he felt that it was a
"basic and stable document, but
there are loopholes and problems that need to be addresssed."
He plans to work with the
new COR members to work on
these ambiguities on a case by
case basis.
At the first COR meeting in
January, Brown will have to
nominate a new COR treasurer.
It will then be the responsbility
of COR to either confirm or deny
the appointment.

in the transition.
About this year's COR,
McDonald said, "I feel like our
administration accomplished
many ofthe goals that we set out
to do. The next administration
will have a good base to work off
of.",
Brown says that heis looking
forward to giving students a voice.
"I was walking around campus
and felt a lot of support from
students. I have been talking to
faculty and staff, but I represent
the students."

COR Approves Allocation of $16,500
for Capital Improvement Campaign
by Vuk Milojkovic
QC Editor-in-Chief
The Council of
Representatives allocated
$16,500 for a Capital
Improvement Campaign last
night during its final meeting of
the year.
The money will go toward
installing telephones in front of
all residence halls at a total
estimated cost of $8,500, a new
pool table for the student union
($1,800), a proposed recycling
program for the campus ($1,000)
and a donation to the fund for
the improvement of the Club
($5,200).
"We worked hard to
distribute funds judiciously
during the semester," said COR
President senior Andy
McDonald, explaining how COR
managed to finish the year with
a large surplus.
"Whittier is financially
behind other institutions and
financial priorities of the
students are sometimes
unfortunately lost in the needs
ofthe entire campus," McDonald
added. He also said that a capital
campaign contribution by the
TO^Htissiite

Jenny ColviUc/QC Photo Editor
Campus telephones for the front of all residence halls are one
of the Items on which COR is spending surplus funds.
COR is a long-lasting tradition.
Associate Dean of Students
Dave Leonard said that an
outside corporation will be
contacted as soon as possible to
begin work on installing the
phones outside of each residence
hall. The phones will be similar
to those installed in front of
Turner Hall thisyear and "greatly
increase the security of on-
campus students," according to
Leonard.
Theuse of the money donated
for the Club will be placed in
general fund for the improvement
of that space, but a future COR
might later specify particular
areas for which the money will
be used.
The money donated to a
proposed recycling program,
which will still have to be
approvedby the administration,
will be used to show the
administration the support of
ASWC for such a program. It
will reduce the cost that the
College would have to pay forit.
The decision on where the
money will go was made after
COR Treasurer sophomore Alec
Mackie solicited input from all
the departments on campus and
presented their responses to the
Council. After a debate on each
proposal, COR decided which
items would most benefit the
student body and adopted the
aforementioned plan
unanimously.
"We waited until the very last
moment to see how much funding
would be available. We pulled
together all the money that was
left in the non-investment
accounts and put it into a Capital
Improvement account," Mackie
said. Investment accounts are
those in which money is budgeted
during the fall semester for the
spring semester, such as
Speaker's Bureau, according to
Mackie.
"We decided earlier in the
semester to put aside $10,000 for
the spring semester in order to
ensure financial security of the
new COR," Mackie added.
The move to approve the
Capital Investment plan was the
final motion passed by the
McDonald administration since
newly-elected president junior
JaMarr Brown will take over in
January.
